Ethnography Project TOPIC PROPOSAL

All students must present a musical ethnography, as outlined in detail in Chapter 11 of the textbook.  Your topic does not need to be “World Music” in nature; it can be any music of your choosing. You are encouraged to do a multi-media presentation, and may include interviews, musical recordings, video recordings, and/or a written report. You may go as high- or low-tech as you like, but be prepared with about 10 minutes of presentation material.

 

Each student will need to submit a proposal for their ethnography project topic.  Your topic does not need to be “World Music” in nature; it can be any music of your choosing. Consider choosing a topic that you either know a lot about, or one that you are interested in learning more about. For example, if you come from a culture that has very different musical traditions, you may choose to present on that subject. Or, perhaps you are interested in music from a culture that you do not know much about. This would also be a great topic of choice.

Introductory Diagnostic Essay

2 Full Pages Duople space

What is writing?  Has the definition of writing changed through history?  Has your definition of writing changed as you’ve had to write?

How does writing apply to your future career?  In what ways will it be important (or not) and what skills do you think will be the most helpful to you?

What is your writing process?  What helps you to be the most productive and produce the best work?

What is one thing you would like to know about me, this class, or if I can answer it, writing in general?

 

 

This essay is a chance for everyone to demonstrate where they are at in their writing processes and abilities.  Since this class is geared towards writing academic papers if you would like to include an intro, thesis, and conclusion you may.  However, what I will be looking at most is the way in which you support your claims, connect ideas that may not be immediately related to one another, and tie the paper together as a whole.

 

Put some thought into each of the questions, answer what you believe is most important, and do your best to bring it all together.

August 23rd, 2017 English Comments Off on Module 1 Discussion: “Everyday Use”

Module 1 Discussion: “Everyday Use”

After having read the Alice Walker story “Everyday Use,” please address the following discussion question and take part as directed.

The process of characterization–which will be the topic of our second major essay later on–is a process every author who has ever written uses to create his or her characters–even when the “character” is a robot, rabbit, straw or tin man, literally every character used in any writing. Authors have only four options to create a character:

1. have the character say something

2. have the character do something

3. have someone else reveal something about the character

or, more rarely,

4. step in as the author-narrator and tell about the character himself or herself

Alice Walker does nothing less than an absolutely amazing job of characterizing Dee for us–even though some of us will take her differently from others–and she does this through the things Dee does, days, and some few things her sister and mother tell us about Dee. Alice Walker does not ever step into this story and interrupt the narrator’s, Ms. Johnson’s monologue and narrative about Dee’s visit on this one occasion. For this discussion, point out one very important thing Dee does, Dee says, or Maggie or her mother says about Dee, something that really reveals something important about Dee. This will not be difficult as you very likely already know. Please follow the directions about participation and the quality and substance of your posts. More is better, and you will, therefore, receive somewhere between 1 and 100 points for your effort on this discussion.

M5A1

Your job is to choose the most appropriate type of report (informational or analytical) and the best approach (direct or indirect) and compose a draft of approximately 1 to 1-1/2 pages (500-750 words).

 

Scenario:

The company you work for is considering upgrading all its end user computer equipment (desktop and laptop computers, monitors, and printers). You have been asked to prepare a report regarding the differences between purchasing and leasing the equipment. Relevant information for your report includes the following:

  • The company currently has 100 employees, but it is growing.
  • Approximately 30% of the employees need laptops instead of desktops.
  • The building has five main work group areas, each of which has a dedicated high volume printer. A total of seven executives and their respective admin support personnel have dedicated printers, and Human Resources also has its own dedicated printer.
  • There is very limited IT support within the company (only two full time staffers).
  • The CFO generally prefers not to have large cash outlays.

•             Software is not required
